I've forgotten exactly what I said originally, but would have to say that
any Hawkwind video is definitely better than nothing. I was rather
disappointed with the Chaos video originally because it didn't seem to have
anything beyond the norm. Also, I wasn't really all that enthusiastic of
this period for the band, as it was more your typical Hard Rock era.

The more I think of it, the more I like Night of the Hawks, after me going
and putting it down. There's some bits I don't like, but there's also some
excellent bits, such as the versions of Ghost Dance, Dream Watcher, Sonic
Attack, Psi Power, and Uncle Sam's on Mars. So I guess that it's mostly very
good, and has a better selection of songs than Chaos and Chronicles.
